Pacifiers are not inherently bad, they can be
good, even necessary at times Yet sometime we try
to pacify when something else is needed

PACIFIERS
Sometimes punishment is needed instead of a
pacifier "Studies show repeatedly that
punishment reduces both frequency and seriousness
of offenses by young criminals and is most
effective when it is consistently imposed for
every offense." These punishments don't have to
be severe. But they have to be perceived as
punishments." quote from University of Southern
California psychologist Sarnoff Mednick, from an
article in Reader's Digest We Must Get Tough With
Killer Kids.

"The spirit of pacifism is taking the fight out
of the church. But the conflict between truth
and error is unending. Victory does not come by
truce. God's terms are unconditional surrender
.... The church grew when the fight was waged,
and the battle raged. When the let up came in
the fight, the let down came in the church. It
is said that the sectarians do not fight anymore.
That is because the church has quit fighting,
and they have nothing to fight. If gospel
preachers will fight now as preachers fought
then, the denominations will fight now as they
fought then ... And truth will triumph now as it
did then. Shall we yield to the line of least
resistance, or shall we challenge error in its
strongholds and its citadels?" Foy E Wallace, Jr.
